Hope everyone is enjoying the fall foliage. I'm writing this before the fall weekend which will have come and gone by the time the newsletter is published. No doubt it was a combination of gorgeous scenery and glorious sounds. We have some good news this month. SONIA SAVIG and ROBERT CONSTANTINE were married on July 4th at Sonia's family cabin in Indian Hills, Colorado. The event was scheduled to coincide with Sonia's family reunion and her 75th birthday celebration. Relatives came from all over, including Sonia's nephew, who is a missionary in Kazakhstan. He officiated at the wedding ceremony. Best wishes for joy, good health and good music to the happy couple.
